Class of 2024 RB Jason Patterson flips to Kentucky

Class of 2024 running back Jason Patterson of Sneads (FL) High flipped his commitment from Cincinnati to Kentucky Tuesday morning.

The 6-foot, 203 pounder had been committed to the Bearcats since August.

“What stood out was number one, coach Stoops. He always kept it real with me and did everything in his power to get me and it’s the SEC where the best players go to play at. Also the resume of coach Boulware and the backs he’s coached and put in the league.”

His relationship with the coaching staff and their plan for him played a role in his decision as well.

“The two I’m closest with are coach Coen (OC) and coach Bouleare (RB coach). Their plan is to develop me to the best back I can be in the next 3 years and get me to the NFL.”

The Sunshine State running back joins coach Mark Stoops and the Wildcats’ top 25 2024 class. He is accompanied by four-star EDGE Brian Robinson Jr., four-star quarterback Cutter Boley, and others.
